Unpatched routers being used to build vast proxy army, spy on networks

Researchers at China's Netlab 360 have discovered that thousands of routers manufactured by the Latvian company MikroTik have been compromised by malware based on a vulnerability made public by WikiLeaks' publication of tools from the CIA's "Vault7" toolkit. While MikroTik posted a software update for the vulnerability in April, researchers found that more than 370,000 MikroTik devices they identified on the Internet were still vulnerable.
